April 14, 2020 14:00 GMT

Free Online Conference for Devs

Four Panel Discussions

Live Q&A

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a global lockdown in different countries alongside the introduction of the "social distancing" safety measure to help prevent the spread of the virus. Hence many developers around the world are working from home right now and are forced to adjust to new patterns, work under pressure or endure until everything is over.

While this is going well for some developers, it has been a struggle for many others. To better support and help the global ecosystem of developers stay productive, motivated and connected, Hashnode and freeCodeCamp have decided to host a virtual #LockdownConf to help developers from around the world to learn from the best minds during the self-quarantine period.

The one-day free online conference will have only 4-panel sessions hosted by 12 amazing individuals in the tech ecosystem which would be streamed on YouTube alongside Q/A and discussions.
